I'm all about those Montreal Jerseys with the stripes. Why would they bring those back? Who in their right mind would want to buy that jersey? After all isn't the point of the alternate jersey to sell more jerseys?

They're celebrating their 100th anniversary. Neither of their thirds will probably stick around past the season.

I realize that, but they are not using their original jersey, they are from 1915-1916 and 1912-1913. And the striped jersey is still hideous. They might only be sticking around for this year, but they are still hoping to sell them.

And believe it or not people probably will buy them. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the number one decider for them in choosing these jerseys appears to be to celebrate their history while just selling jerseys would be secondary.

Uh, well I don't know how bad the Habs striped jersey will really look in the flesh - remember that LCD's tend to create more contrast than there is in real life (especially with whites), and also that the colors will probably be softened somewhat by the manufacturing.

most of those jerseys are weak. Lets just do a solid color and write our name on the front. What is the purpose. Any team that went back to an earlier jersey is ok, all the others are a waste. Most notable from this category are the bolts, sens, yotes, dallas, and LA.

I agree. Someone else mentioned the letters looking like they go the wrong direction. I thought the same thing. In general I'm not a fan of letters on the front of the jersey. Too much like baseball and very unimaginative. I prefer the more throw-back styles like the Pens, Canucks, etc.
